I don&#39;t like the engagement farming style (post 4 whatever that...). But I saw one about albums (on Bluesky) and felt it was a good way to tell the world a bit about myself. So I came here to do that and post four albums that changed me. Two of them are super famous. One is a bit niche (UDS has a big place in my heart). But the Goats one in particular is one I&#39;d encourage you to check out if you&#39;re unfamiliar. Tricks of the Shade is truly a masterpiece IMHO with lyric...

Sorcha and those bikes no rider ever wants to find themselves on. Picture from the start of the Belgian national road racing championship, specifically the start in Antwerp. #BK2026

I do not understand people&#39;s infatuation with &quot;les tissus du chien vert&quot;. It is IMHO a terrible fabric store, selling only leftovers they buy in bulk. The casual observer might think &quot;Wow, there&#39;s so much&quot;, but unless you&#39;re planning a costume party or carnival, you&#39;ll quickly realize &quot;wow, this is all garbage&quot;. Typically, I would say live and let live, but I feel it&#39;s important to point out that it...

I am open-sourcing the @freesewing infrastructure. The configuration of various servers and the services running on them, how the systems are set up, Ansible playbooks to manage them, ... As people are actively closing up because of the threat of vulnerability discoveries by AI models, this is perhaps counter-intuitive, if not ill-advised. However, I really want to try to get more people actively involved, including those who are interested in learning by doing. https://codeberg.org/freesewi...

Remember to always wear hi-viz when you venture out into the world because when a car hits a person or (a person on) a bicycle it was probably their own fault for wearing dark colors or, you know, existing in the first place.

Take a moment of your day to watch this (I recommend 1.25x speed). The Court of Justice of the European Union explains that discrimination against non-cisgenser or homosexual people is incompatible with the values of the European Union, and thus illegal in all Member States π«‘πͺπΊ https://curia.europa.eu/site/jcms/1593320_EmbedVideo/en/judgment-commission-v-hungary-explained-values-of-the-european-union I want to give credit to Curia for making the effort to put out these explanations. Heck, I&am...

The @freesewing websites are now cached by Bunny CDN. This should strike a balance between bandwidth costs and latency, and address the usability issues we&#39;ve been experiencing in recent weeks due to a large influx of new users. There may very well be other things that start mis-behaving due to these changes, but we&#39;ll cross that bridge when we get there. Thanks for your patience π

We have migrated #FreeSewing to a new hosting provider this weekend, and unfortunately it didnβt go without issues. Due to a problem in the backend tooling of a CDN provider, the TLS certificates are not (yet) generated, and this means your browser wonβt connect to the website (even though technically it is not down). Not all is lost though, you can access the site through the name used internally by the hosting platform. Details at: https://forum.freesewing.eu/t/were-experiencing-some-issue...

Good news for our trans friends: The European Court of Justice on Thursday ruled that European Union nations must provide transgender citizens with identification documents reflecting their &quot;lived gender&quot; rather than their gender at birth. To translate this for non-EU people, it&#39;s the equivalent of the US supreme court (the ECJ here) ruling that states (the EU Member States here) must respect people&#39;s gender choices.
